L’Wren Scott was not only an incredibly talented fashion designer, but she was also the long-time girlfriend of Rolling Stones vocalist Mick Jagger. A statement was released yesterday by Jagger’s rep squashing a NY Post article that claimed the pair had recently split. which read “The story in the New York Post re a split between Mick Jagger and L’Wren Scott is 100% untrue. There is absolutely no basis in fact to this story. It is a horrible and inaccurate piece of gossip during this very tragic time for Mick.”
Mick Jagger posted an incredibly touching tribe to Scott on his Facebook page yesterday which read “I am still struggling to understand how my lover and best friend could end her life in this tragic way” he wrote. “We spent many wonderful years together and had made a great life for ourselves.She had great presence and her talent was much admired, not least by me,” before singling out the massive outpouring of support that has flooded in: “I have been touched by the tributes that people have paid to her, and also the personal messages of support that I have received.”
He closed out the message with “I will never forget her”.
